Certainly on the -- is the first new music cab window and we had some compilations and gracious and things but -- -- Actual collection immediately -- and. And people would look at sentence they Dylan Daniels what's the connection -- -- -- -- go back a few years wolf first of all of I've been a big difference for decades. Secondly -- worked after three as a studio musician Aaron nutria were -- about Saddam's natural talents have portrait in -- morning and it was. And some and -- -- her name to me to be able to punitive to work on this campus some -- admiration for. -- changing face of pop music he was before The Beatles for all the people that we think of this. B and innovators threat he was their -- it and he hit him when he districts. Refuse to be put in a box you know he wouldn't -- records were three minutes and sixteen seconds long to fit -- radio format or something. If you if one birth was a little bit longer than the others are will be shorter the as he did he did. It could be made a mistake on his guitar harmonica with just to play and you know -- that's -- felt about it. Was on -- and it just represents such musical freedom -- -- I'm -- really admire him. It shows -- firms -- from a couple of decades ago from working as studio musician that. You you come up with this list that you that you want to put together in this collection how do you even narrowed down his field work we started well one thing about it you know what you do in that way element that's so big personally -- -- We want to do -- -- with a. -- -- -- we approached it almost like it was new material like we've never really heard it before. Because we tried to ignore the arrangements. In the the beach and everything up to bankers -- the change complexion of the sound. There were always going to be Bob Dylan's own right you can listen to one you can listen later -- tell us about Billie Jean but then you -- -- CDB place turning to -- -- point eight. Because we changed everything about it some of which completely changed -- we changed tempo. We certainly changed management donation. Maybe -- -- -- so long as somebody play guitar -- and -- -- you know and heard her Dylan album -- -- Registration around and try to put something that would put our -- -- is is supposed to just copy and we want a copy anything even known -- before. Well it's amazing isn't just in the as an example times there -- -- -- -- soon -- you hear you know what the song isn't there is that distinctive. Charlie Daniels Band sound to -- and what what's better response than from those who will support it -- just comes out today right. Actually the response has been really good -- the people that are of course very few people have heard so far but the industry people they have that we had -- it -- -- We -- really nice review zone. I -- -- possible want to hear the word legend used in front of their name but I say that obviously with all admiration and respect when you have that kind of history going into it -- do you do do you. Did you put that much pressure -- when you're starting to work with someone else's work that you want to. Now preserved there. Not really amended its. It's always will be bundled music -- you could not destroy that aspect of the no matter what you do if you -- -- if you did it let's also remember or whatever it was we'll be. We were -- the concern with I mean I think. I think Dylan cannon. Takes care they integrity of the -- you -- about what he put together weight puts words together like nobody else does. So we would take the melody and the words and backers say -- don't reflect new material that would try to do it totally different things with the recognizable as usage but times are changing that you -- -- in the first few bars at this point. But he steal music the same. You use viability. If you were not even familiar with the crew for some of the stimulus. There there there there is that there is a distinctive deal in style that you know what if any wanted to songs it's almost indescribable. He put up fifty albums of your own -- and you've got a tour date now that is a hundred -- something like. 400 about a hundred outages and road -- and it would do. Ten grand Ole opry appearances and you know -- -- -- -- sentence him here will be. I thought -- I think it'd be enough to keep a 27 under active and what's the secret. Additions to -- the good lord may do instant the so much Portland and vehemently. The music business for. -- -- -- stay in the -- race to stay current program -- -- -- Kind of keep your -- food and the main thing is -- concerned. About anything. What's. He recovered -- music business anything. Do you do you have that dialogue when you take the stage you read the audience -- that some some partisan. -- up on stage in the almost block they almost try to go into their own mind -- -- -- themselves because they know if that's the best show that they can put -- what do you have that kind of exchange I would. I have I have periodically audits you know try to you know -- -- -- monitors come along nearby Houston united Arab religious and that your owners has -- monetary. Keys is because it takes Belmont field away from -- touches the ground will -- the moment that you're gonna wanna see him.

So I can even using your miners had that want to stay in touch all the time. And that's the thing with many years -- -- a long time ago it. Musicians get work entertainers don't. So I set my sights on Maynard -- me many years ago and I'm devoted my life to doing a lot of it is how occupation -- songs and secrets -- you do your songs in. It has a lot to do with how.
